FOOT CARE NATURAL TIPSFeet are often, the most neglected part of the
human body. We seem to take our feet for
granted, lavishing care only when we experience
discomfort and foot pain. However, regular care,
foot hygiene and exercise can go a long way to
healthy feet which will look good and support the
body weight easily. We suggest the following
home remedies for relief for common foot
problems. Foot care starts with good posture,
always stand straight, well balanced on both
feet with the toes pointing straight ahead.
Do lift the arches of your feet slightly so that body
weight is supported by the outside edges of the soles of the feet. Good shoes are
important for healthy feet. The shoes should not be too tight and should not squeeze
the toes. They should allow space to move the toes. High heels are a strict no, for
everyday usage and should be restricted to special occasions. In hot weather, it is
advisable to wear open sandals to provide maximum ventilation to avoid excessive
sweating. Regular foot exercise helps to keep feet fit. Curl your toes simulating the
action of trying to pick up something with your feet. Do this for ten minutes every
day to strengthen muscles and provide relief to aching feet.

glycerin, fresh cream and honey. Apply this
mixture to the feet, especially to the cracked heels
and let it stay on for 15 minutes. Wash off with
warm water. Try this every three days
(before sleeping) to find smooth feet and heels.
